Atlas Kinetic cellphone concept trades functionality for eco-friendly


I’d probably be more impressed by
Ricardo Baiao’s Atlas Kinetic Cellphone Concept - which describes a system of kinetic rotors the movement of which power the handset - if Epoq weren’t promising that their in-production cellphone watch had it already. It’d also be easier to like the Atlas if it didn’t look like L’il Jon’s Pimp Cup. Still, perhaps I’m getting old and aluminium, glass and sapphire glass is what’s considered fashionable these days.


If it were me, though, I’d want more functionality than Baiao envisages - basic calling and text messaging - or maybe for him to just go talk to Epoq and find out how they manage to fill a handset with Bluetooth and the like despite having a lot less area to play with for fitting in the kinetic recharging components.
